I've been on Twitter for some time, and generally speaking I hate social networking stuff. Not into Facebook, don't do any of that stuff for the most part.

I'm a web designer so I'm on a computer all day anyway and Twitter has turned out to be hugely helpful. I can ask a question and get an answer or link from dozens of people within minutes. It has turned out to be a huge time saver on occasion, but also a huge time waster just trying to keep up.

Oddly enough you get to know some cool people and I've found a number of freelance design jobs through it and made some great work connections.

I use myspace to keep in touch with family and friends who live far away. I do not like to talk on the phone. I am an anti phone person when it comes to visiting. I love spending time with people and have a lot of fun, but I hate being on the phone with someone, unless I'm selling or doing business of some sort. Myspace and text messages probably make up 70% of my communication with 60% of the people I know.

Honestly though, it's environment and sheer ignorance. I know diversity is frowned upon these days but when you interact with people you learn about them and how much you have in common instead of just simply watching TV and listening to those around you who know as much as you and nothing more.
